Matt and Chris Stafford just arrived in Whistler on Sunday
evening, but by Tuesday afternoon, they’d already been mountain biking,
wakeboarding and were on their way to go bungee jumping.

“We do work very hard. I mean, obviously I’m just about to go
bungee jumping and waterskiing,” Matt Stafford trailed off with a laugh.

Between headlining festivals, playing club shows, producing,
recording, and working on their own clothing line (yes, they also have their
own clothing line), it’s amazing that these energetic siblings find time to
sleep.

“I got eight hours of sleep last night and I think that’s the
longest sleep I’ve had in weeks,” Stafford said. “I could have done with a
couple more hours, to be honest.”

The original game plan wasn’t to pursue DJing as a career
— in fact, Matt was playing rugby professionally and planned on becoming
a professional footballer. But one of their favourite clubs ended up needing a
DJ at the last minute, and the brothers were simply in the right place at the
right time.

“We just pretty much told a story to get our first gig,” Matt
said rather matter-of-factly. “…We used to play a lot of musical instruments
and that, but we were always into dance music once it was sort of growing and
we went to a few big events.”

They ended up winging it, filling the room with their friends,
and the rest is history. They certainly never imagined their little white lie
would turn into a career that would see them touring the world.

“There’s only a couple of guys that are touring the world from
Australia DJing, and we’re just blessed to be in that group,” Stafford said.

The idea of working and traveling with a sibling, day in and
day out, may be a nightmare for many, but not these brothers.

“It’s weird. Its good we’ve got separate rooms, but it’s all
good, there’s no drama whatsoever,” he said.

The rest of the family is also pretty supportive of their
musical endeavours.

“They just think it’s great, especially when they come to gigs.
Mom and dad have come to shows and there are thousands of people screaming, and
mom’s so proud and dad just likes all the riders,” Stafford said with a
chuckle.

Their music may be mainly electro house, but there’s a good
deal of experimental dance music thrown in, plus some of their own instrumental
work, to keep things interesting. Expect to hear some minimal, techy sounds,
too.
